Town Of San Anselmo: Celebrating Safely Is A Great Holiday Gift

Press release from the Town of San Anselmo:

November 22, 2021

Individuals can spread COVID-19 even without symptoms. Travel and gathering indoors with extended family and friends increases the chance of getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. CDPH has provided additional guidance for those who are fully vaccinated. Reducing close contact with individuals outside your household, wearing masks, practicing hand hygiene, and staying home when not feeling well are all important measures to slow the spread.  Staying home with members of your immediate household is the best way to protect yourself and others. Marin County Public Health recommends that you choose a safer alternative way to celebrate fall & wintertime family occasions. Planning early and identifying safer options will help keep you and your family safe and healthy this holiday season. Marin County Public Health would like to remind residents that many holiday celebrations carry risk for spreading COVID-19. Limiting yourself to small gatherings and taking extra steps to ensure safety-- especially when not everyone is vaccinated—reduces the risk of spreading COVID-19. Together, we can protect ourselves and those around us, including young children who are not yet eligible for vaccination. As you plan your holiday activities this year, we strongly recommend that everyone takes the following measures to protect against COVID-19: Get fully vaccinated.

Stay home if you might have COVID-19. 

Wear a face mask. 

Gather outdoors.
